What are the body dimensions of the Tiguan L?
2 Answers
The length, width, and height dimensions of the Tiguan L are 4733mm/1839mm/1673mm and 4735mm/1859mm/1677mm, which are official data. The length of the Tiguan L refers to the distance between two vertical lines perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost protruding parts at the front and rear of the car. The width refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle. The height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the vehicle's support plane. The turbocharged engine of the Tiguan L has a maximum power of 137kw and 162kw, and a maximum torque of 320 Nm and 350 Nm. The maximum power speed of these two engines is 4100 to 6000 rpm and 4500 to 6200 rpm, respectively, and the maximum torque speed is 1500 to 4000 rpm. It is equipped with hybrid injection, direct injection technology, and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head. The engine is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. The state has relevant regulations on the dimensions of cars. According to the national standard "GB1589-89" issued, the total width of the vehicle does not include the rearview mirrors. The limitation on the width of the car is to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. In other words, in the national standard, the significance of the car width data is to provide enough space during overtaking, so that the width is not too large to cause accidents during overtaking or the situation where the road markings are narrower than the width of the car. In addition, the state stipulates that the total width of the vehicle should not exceed 2.5m to meet the use requirements of relevant public roads.
I've been driving the Tiguan L for over half a year now. Its body dimensions are 4712 mm in length, 1839 mm in width, and 1673 mm in height, which is just right for urban commuting. It doesn't feel bulky when driving, and it's manageable in parking spaces, though sometimes it requires a few extra turns of the wheel in narrow alleys of old neighborhoods. The rear seating space, with a wheelbase of 2791 mm, is particularly spacious, comfortably accommodating three people without feeling cramped—my friends never complain about legroom during weekend outings. The trunk capacity is also generous, easily fitting several large suitcases. The elevated view due to its size provides extra confidence when driving in the rain, reducing blind spot risks. Compared to other SUVs like the CR-V, the Tiguan L is slightly longer, but its handling doesn't compromise, remaining stable at highway speeds. Fuel efficiency isn't significantly impacted, with reasonable daily fuel consumption that saves me a lot of hassle. The size is thoughtfully designed for city use, and I'd recommend beginners to add a rearview camera for easier maneuvering.
